EN 10270-1 Grade DH patented cold drawn

EN 10270-1 Grade DH patented cold drawn introduction

The patented cold drawn steel wire type DH (D-dynamic load
H-high tensile strength) made of unalloyed steel is used for tension springs, compression springs or torsion springs for high static load or medium dynamic load.
The wire will be delivered in rings (standard delivery type), coils or levelled bars. Different surface conditions by arrangement
if no arrangements where done, the condition is up to the producer. All surface types can be delivered with oiled surface. More information regarding surface conditions see EN 10270-1.

Equivalent material: ISO DH, GB DH, IS DH, JIS SWP-B, ASTM A228, UNS K08500, DIN FederstahldrahtD, DIN DH, AFNOR DH, BS DH
